The Foot Detective Podcast is where foot pain gets treated like a case file — not a guessing game. Hosted by Sole Trace , each episode investigates the clues behind common foot and lower-limb problems: plantar heel pain, Achilles issues, shin pain, tendon trouble, nerve symptoms, toe stiffness, overload injuries, and the weird “why does it hurt there?” mysteries runners live with. Expect clear, evidence-led explanations in plain English, practical rehab and training tweaks you can actually use, and red flags you shouldn’t ignore. No gimmicks. No miracle gadgets. Just smart investigating, better understanding, and a plan that helps you get back to moving well. Feet don’t lie. I just follow the clues.

He closed the notebook on the last morning and looked out at the sea. Ten cases. Ten knees. One week on the coast that had not, in any meaningful sense, constituted a holiday. He was already thinking about the flight hom
Case 030: The Loaded Spring — Patellar Tendinopathy Two years. The same tendon, the same clinicians, the same advice: rest it, ice it, let the inflammation settle. And every time he returned to the court, it came back wi
Case 029: The Friction Line — Iliotibial Band Syndrome Kilometre four. Every run, without fail, for six weeks. The lateral knee pain was so consistent it had started to feel like a scheduled appointment. In this case, So
Case 028: The Empty Frame — The Phantom X-Ray She had carried the X-ray for six weeks, convinced someone would eventually see what three clinicians had missed. The report was clean. The knee was not. In this case, Sole T
Case 027: The Inside Job — Medial Collateral Ligament Injury A valgus force on a planted knee. Three days of strapping and a transatlantic flight later, he wants to run a half marathon by the weekend. Sole Trace has seen
Case 026: The Crossed Pattern Lower Crossed Syndrome Is Lower Crossed Syndrome a genuine clinical phenomenon, or simply a convenient label for a common movement pattern? In this episode of The Foot Detective , Sole Trace
This one happens in a moment. A step, a push, a burst of effort — and then a sharp pain across the front of the thigh. The runner can still move, but something isn’t right. The leg doesn’t want to straighten with the sam
This case looks like one injury, but it isn’t. A sharp pull during sprinting and a deep ache at the sitting bone may both be called “hamstring pain” — but they behave very differently. In this episode of The Foot Detecti
This one starts with a moment the runner remembers clearly: a planted foot, a descent, a pop, and a knee that suddenly no longer feels like it belongs to them. The X-ray was normal. The swelling settled. But three months
This one comes with a moment the runner can replay clearly. A planted foot. A twist. A pop — felt more than heard. The knee swells overnight, settles with rest, then swells again the moment running resumes. Now it clicks
This one shows up after the run is done. The climb felt manageable. The descent didn’t. By the time she’s sitting on the sea wall, both hands are on her knees — the pain sitting deep behind the kneecap, sharper on stairs
He had booked the holiday in January. Told three separate people he was looking forward to it. And, by all observable measures, he should have been. The sun did what it was meant to. The coastline delivered. The pace of
Case 020: The Patella’s Complaint — Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (Runner’s Knee) This one sits at the front of the knee — beneath and around the kneecap — and shows up where runners feel it most: stairs, long periods sit
Case 019: Behind the Knee — Popliteus Strain This case hides in plain sight. The runner points to the back of the knee — not above, not below, not along the usual tracks of injury. Just behind it. The assessments come ba
Case 018: The Deep One — Soleus Strain This case doesn’t shout from the surface. It sits deeper. Lower in the calf. Harder to point to. The runner feels it build during long runs, linger afterwards, and return every time
Case 017: The Forgotten Suspect — Plantaris Strain This case rarely gets solved on the first attempt. The runner feels a sudden snap in the back of the calf — sharp, unexpected, and unmistakable. It feels like something
Case 016: The Cushion Job — Heel Fat Pad Syndrome This case is easy to misread. The runner reports a deep, bruised ache right in the centre of the heel — as if they are landing on a stone that never moves. They’ve often
Case 015: The Crooked Angle — Hallux Valgus (Bunion) This case rarely begins as an injury. It begins as something the runner has simply learned to live with — a toe drifting outward, a bony prominence rubbing against the
Case 014: The Reach — Overstriding This case rarely arrives under one name. It turns up as shin pain, then anterior knee pain, then hip flexor tightness, then back to the shin again. Each flare-up gets treated as its own
Case 013: Death by Distance — Cumulative Fatigue & Overtraining Syndrome This case doesn’t break the runner all at once. It wears them down slowly. The pace stops improving. Easy runs begin to feel like work. Recovery st
